Best Time to Visit the Maldives
The Maldives sits near the equator, so the weather is warm all year, but the seasons split into a dry spell and a wet one.
Timing your trip to the dry northeast monsoon means calm seas and blue skies, while the wet season brings clouds and savings.
- Dry season runs November through April
- May to October is wetter but far cheaper
- Diving visibility peaks in the dry months
- Prices drop sharply in the shoulder months
Go in the dry season for the postcard weather, or accept a little rain for a big discount in the wet months.
